I know that there's another weekly thread, but I wanted to reply to your post.
I am glad you had fun, and I hope you won't let those nay-sayers get you down! Have you read "spiritual midwifery"? It's a little dated, and a few of the story-tellers are (dare I say) a little flakey, but it's still got a lot of good information and it's nice for someone who's considering hypno-birthing.
It's got alot of stories about mind-over-matter in the birthing process, and it may help you feel even more comfortable with your choice.
About the sleeping, I just got myself a "snoogle" pillow, because I was having alot of trouble getting comfortable at night. It's a godsend. I love that thing. It wraps around so you can get support in all the right places.
It isn't perfect, as it's not as puffy as I'd like, now that I've been sleeping on it for a few weeks, and the material is kinda cheap, but for me, it was still worth it. I just put a chenille blanket on top, and sleep on that.
It's a little pricey, but I imagine that you could make something even better for yourself, if you are at all handy with a needle and thread. -I'm not.
